A marriage between the ancient healing arts of reflexology, Chinese tuina, Japanese shiatsu and Indian ayurvedic yoga, Thai foot massage of the feet and lower legs is both invigorating and deeply relaxing. Using hands-on massage with warm, moist heat and light rubbing, this method is ideal for tired feet, improving circulation and lymph movement and increasing flexibility. For anyone who has tried reflexology, this treatment may just surprise yet impress how different the techniques feel.

 

Diane Murray, LMT received her first Jin Shin Jyutsu session in 1979 and the healing gentleness of that art led to her lifelong study and becoming certified as a self-help trainer/teacher. Murray founded The Effortless Solution, Inc. and opened her private practice at The Health Center, adding Swedish and Thai Foot Massage to her offerings.

 

During treatment, the client lies comfortably, face-up, on a massage table or zero gravity chair. Shorts, skirts or loose pants are best to allow the therapist access to the legs from the knees down. “My clients have reported to me that they feel relaxed, de-stressed, energized and content,” Murray shares. “Some have reported reduced pain in the feet, reduced feelings of numbness and a discontinuation of leg cramps at night.”
